Is advance booking required and what is the cancellation policy?

Yes, prior booking is mandatory. We recommend booking at least a few days in advance. We understand that plans can change! If you need to cancel, just let us know as early as possible — cancellations made more than 15 days in advance only incur a small payment processing fee per person, and we can always issue a voucher for the full amount instead. The closer to the tour date, the higher the cancellation fee, so we always recommend taking out cancellation insurance for extra peace of mind. We have no minimum group size.

What equipment is included in a canyoning tour?

Included: certified guide, freshly washed 5mm wetsuit with hood, Adidas canyoning shoes, Petzl canyoning harness, and certified mountaineering helmet. Bring your own swimsuit and towel.For cold water days we also provide gloves and extra layers of neoprene

Do tours run in rainy or bad weather?

Rain alone does not necessarily cancel a tour, unless it's a thunderstorm. Safety depends on canyon water levels, not surface weather. We monitor the weather closely and we notify you 1-2 days in advance if conditions require a cancellation and always offer an alternative canyon, date, or voucher.

Why is Ticino considered one of the best canyoning destinations in the world?

Ticino's geography creates exceptionally beautiful canyons with emerald-green pools, dramatic waterfalls, and crystal-clear Alpine water. Valle Maggia and Valle Verzasca are among the most photogenic and technically varied canyoning valleys in Europe.
